s3 sync directory, including the directory itself

I'm currently running the aws s3 command:

aws s3 sync 'A' s3://my-bucket

which syncs all the contents of directory A to the bucket but does not include the directory A itself.

E.g., if A contains A-subdir, then the bucket will contain A-subdir, not A with A-subdir nested in it.

Is there a way to make s3 sync include the directory A and its contents?

Solution

  • Unless you specify the object path you want to have under the bucket - it will default to sync into the "root" of the bucket.

    Try instead to specify where you want it to sync:

    aws s3 sync A s3://my-bucket/A
